Concept
The Physicians’ Group of palliative.ch has received the assignment to bring together its members on a regular basis for specific continuing education relating to our profession and our discipline. For the 9th edition of this Summer School, we will again prepare an interesting program. The goal of the Summer School is to help in building a professional community and develop a common vision, prepare the future and set up a network within our medical subspecialty. This year again, the plenary sessions will mostly be in English. Discussions are conducted in native or optional English language. With this program, we wish to contribute to a high-level of continuous medical education in palliative care by bringing in expert insights and discussing some crucial topics in-depth. We would also like to give the opportunity to share knowledge and experience between colleagues from all over Switzerland.
